issues EEN client companies face with most often

To increase an amount of bilateral and multilateral innovative R&Ds initiated with the assistance of the Consortium

Digitalization, Circular Economy, Green Tech.

Priorities for the New Term

ENTERPRISE EUROPE NETWORK – RUSSIA 2022–2025

foreign companies

2. The Consortium is in a position to provide direct and effective assistance in matters related to work in Russia

3. Foreign companies planning to work in Russia need such assistance

4. Effective assistance to Russian companies abroad can be provided by our EEN partners from the respective countries

5. We understand that our attentive attitude toward foreign companies and effective assistance to them in Russia is the key to the same attitude toward Russian companies on the part of our foreign EEN partners

Mutual Responsibility

METHODOLOGY NOTE (1)

to attain the new objectives without compromising the level of efficiency achieved during previous term, we must address the issue of resources
There are two types of resources: Internal and External.
Exponential Growth of the Consortium’s Efficiency can be achieved through engagement of External Resources available in Russia

Resources Management

METHODOLOGY NOTE (2)

The main thrust will be made on identifying appropriate external resources, negotiating with them, and making them “buy” the EEN

The idea is to make them start seeing the EEN as the source of the solutions for themselves
